When are Major Services Due?

Hello All,
I've searched the forums but haven't found a specific answer yet.
I would like to know when major services are due on the 2G TL. I've read there is a major 105k mile service. Currently, I have a 2G TL with 143k miles and the "maintenance required" is flashing. I've read the DIY maintenance light reset so thats not a major concern.
If possible, can someone with a service schedule post the intervals for major services and what those services entail?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

The maintenance chart starts on page 224 of the owner's manual, which can be downloaded in pdf form here:

Or if you need other than 2003, go here:

The links within the 1999 Acura TL pdf manual page are not working. I'm using acrobat reader 9.0 to open up the file.

you can do a lot of the service yourself using the DIY section on here
fluids are easy- filters too

Need to have it looked at by a mechanic that knows acura ,and see if the access covers have been off- indications the 105 was actually done for you already.
New spark plugs would be a clue as would bolts with tool marks in certain areas

Try another Acura dealer. My local Acura dealer said the 105k service included the timing belt, water pump, and some other major stuff and it costs about $850 out the door.
